Warning, this is a stream of thought ramble.
Let's praise Zemgod and Larry for a minute. Z is +2.5 Rel CF% and Larry is +1.9 RelCF% at EV with 81% Defensive zone starts. I'd like to see both extended.
I wonder if Larsson and Girgs had a finisher on their line, could they be putting up some decent counting stats too? They generate a lot of chances, mostly missing wide or drilling the goaltender in the belly. Honestly, if you added one decent skill piece to that line, you should shift 1-2 minutes their way (hello Sobotka and his -7.1 RelCF% getting 1:30 more EV time than Z). Come to think of it, putting Erod on that line and treating them like a 2/3rd line is a no brainer. Bury Tage-Sobotka-Okposo with sheltered 4th line minutes and start giving Mittelstadt more D zone starts. I must be missing a big piece of the puzzle, because as near as I can tell, none of these have been tried.
Ramble ended.
